Such things are rare; even the most basic ghost techniques are exceedingly scarce.
Jiang Yun possessed two rudimentary ghost techniques, acquired during his most triumphant days, when he spared no expense to plead with a Lesser Ghost Officer for them.
The peculiar method he used earlier to extend his arm like a serpent was one of these ghost techniques.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Jiang Yun's mouth. In the past, he would have been apprehensive facing Ghost Chief Pockmarked Wang, not daring to underestimate him.
But now, knowing that this mysterious game could enhance his own strength, he felt a faint anticipation, hoping that Guang Fang and Kou Miao would indeed lure Pockmarked Wang here.
Pockmarked Wang occupied a dilapidated courtyard fifteen kilometers away, a place far more spacious and comfortable than his own cramped quarters.
Moreover, Pockmarked Wang had been a Ghost Chief for over two hundred years, with more experience than Jiang Yun, and might have a considerable stash of treasures.
If Pockmarked Wang dared to cause trouble, Jiang Yun might just turn the tables and rob him instead.
However, to truly crush Pockmarked Wang, Jiang Yun needed to draw more power from the game to enhance his own strength.
Without further hesitation, he transformed into a wisp of ghostly smoke and drifted back into the game helmet.
" [Welcome back to Mountains, Rivers, and Realms of Antiquity!] "
" [Special Notice: The battery of your standard version login helmet has partially depleted, with an estimated remaining usage time of 44 hours and 21 minutes. Please remember to recharge in time. Enjoy your game!] "
Upon returning to the game world and hearing this system prompt, Jiang Yun was shocked, as if doused with cold water, leaving him utterly bewildered.
(#‵′) Damn! This game helmet sent to me as a burnt offering needs charging too?
If the battery runs out in 44 hours, won't I be unable to enter this world full of wonder and opportunity?
This... this is absolutely unacceptable!
It seems I must race against time, not only to quickly level up in the game but also to leave this starter village soon, to find my unfortunate descendant Jiang Dabao in the game.
I'll have that brat quickly burn me a charger or something to solve this urgent crisis.
Time is pressing, and there's no room for delay. Jiang Yun immediately immersed himself in tasks.
He logged back in at the same spot by the Yellow Springs Secluded Pool, skillfully casting bait into the mysterious depths once more.
However, the low catch rate left him anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.
Half an hour passed, and after changing the bait three times, he still hadn't caught a single fish.
Just as Jiang Yun began to doubt whether there were any fish in the Yellow Springs Secluded Pool and whether he was just wasting time, the fishing rod finally twitched—a fish was hooked!
" [Congratulations on catching a low-level (Yin Minnow).] "
Simultaneously, a prompt appeared on Jiang Yun's task interface, showing that turning in this fish would reward him with: Experience +200, Ghost Copper Coins +12!
The quality of this fish was too low, and fishing again would waste too much time. It was time to rely on his talent for a gamble.
" [Myriad Reset successful! Average Luck, result unchanged, you caught a low-level (Yin Minnow).] "
Once more!
" [Myriad Reset successful! Average Luck, result unchanged, you caught a low-level (Yin Minnow).] "
(#‵′) Damn! My luck is really not cooperating!
Jiang Yun cursed inwardly. He had no Mana Potions left, and his mana cap was only 60 points. After using his talent twice, he only had enough for one last attempt.
When the 20-second talent cooldown finally ended, Jiang Yun took a deep breath, blew on his hands, and used his talent once more.
A cascade of golden light poured down, enveloping him, with purple energy swirling around him like a dragon, making Jiang Yun shudder.
" [Myriad Reset successful! Congratulations on triggering Heavenly Fortune, you caught a top-level—(Dragonbird Yin Fish).] "
The insignificant little Yin Minnow instantly transformed, like a sparrow turning into a cannon, under the interwoven golden light and purple energy, becoming a top-level Yin Fish as thick as an arm, snow-white all over, with a dragon-like head and fin-like a bird.
This is truly a windfall!
He had a ghostly stroke of luck, refreshing such a rare top-level Yin Fish!
Jiang Yun was overjoyed, immediately using the free return-to-village opportunity that cooled down every six hours, instantly returning to Guiming Starter Village No. 1.
At that moment, the Ghost Village Chief, the old rascal, was sneakily peering through a gap in the tailor shop's corner, eyes fixed on the big-bottomed female ghost drying her underwear, swallowing saliva with a lecherous look.
Jiang Yun returned to Guiming Starter Village, unable to find the chief in the courtyard, and shouted, "Chief, Chief, I caught a fish to turn in the task."
"Where are you? Come out quickly!"
After a few shouts, a voice like a lion's roar echoed from the nearby tailor shop.
"Ah!"
"You damn old pervert, daring to peep at me again, I'll kill you today, you old bastard!"
Then came a series of crashing sounds, accompanied by screams and wails.
Not long after, the Ghost Village Chief, with scissors stuck in his head and a bruised face, fled back to his courtyard as if running for his life.
"Damn brat, why are you yelling!?"
"You got me into trouble!"
After escaping back, the Ghost Village Chief quickly shut the courtyard door, angrily cursing at the dumbfounded Jiang Yun with a face full of indignation. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
Outside the courtyard, the tailor shop owner's wife's scolding continued unabated.
Several scissors flew into the courtyard like hidden weapons.
The old chief shrank his neck in fear, not daring to make a sound, like a frightened quail.
After a while, until the tailor shop owner's wife left cursing, the Ghost Village Chief finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had narrowly escaped death.
But when he looked at Jiang Yun, his eyes were filled with rage, as if he wanted to devour Jiang Yun alive.
Jiang Yun was speechless, cursing inwardly: Damn!
Who would have thought this damn old ghost NPC would dare to peep in broad daylight!
The old chief angrily pulled out the scissors from his head and walked towards Jiang Yun with extreme displeasure, like an enraged bull.
"You better have caught a decent quality Yin Fish to compensate me, or else, I'll never let you off!"
Jiang Yun was speechless; he was really being blamed for this.
But there was no choice; he still needed this old ghost to complete the task.
He immediately handed over the Dragonbird Yin Fish he had caught.
"This... this is a top-level—Dragon... bird Yin Fish!"
"My heavens! You actually caught such a superb Yin Fish! Good lad, I always knew you were talented, destined for greatness, and I wasn't wrong!"
The Ghost Village Chief immediately turned his anger into joy, as if he had changed faces, laughing excitedly, patting Jiang Yun's shoulder as he took the fish, as if praising a capable assistant.
"Say no more, I admire young, capable, and outstanding ghost talents like you the most."

"This is your well-deserved reward."
With a grand gesture, the Ghost Village Chief distributed the rewards, then hugged the Dragonbird Yin Fish like it was a naked beauty, leaving Jiang Yun behind as he ran into his house, shutting the door tightly.
" [Congratulations on exceeding task completion! Rewards doubled, you received Experience: +4000, Ghost Silver Coins: +10, and a Class-Specific Random Weapon Box.] "
Wow!
The rewards are incredibly generous!
Jiang Yun was so excited he almost jumped up.
But it was also a pity; he only had 1 mana point left, not enough to activate his talent for another refresh. Otherwise, if he triggered Fortune Turns or something, the task rewards doubling again would truly be a meteoric rise!
